At the Club House:
Hon. Nii Nortey: Eeeeiiiii Jack, now when you come here you don’t even send and invite to me?
Hon. Johson: Oh bro is not like that, I only passed here to unwind some little stress and pressure coming my way. I tried your line the moment I got here but I was told your phone was off by the service provider. You can check from my call log even.
Hon. Nii Nortey: You are very right my brother, I turned my phone off when Opana summoned me to his office, I didn’t want any of those girls to call and disturb me whiles I was with him.
Hon. Johnson: What was his reason for him inviting you over to his office at that time of the day?
Hon. Nii Nortey: Marvin, there is fire on the mountain. Herh where is this waiter? My friend I need a very chilled beer with block in it to calm my nerves down.
Hon. Johnson: What is the problem bro? Has any of the girls called to say she is pregnant?
Hon. Nii Nortey: Even if any one called to tell me that, it would have been a plus for me. My brother as you are seeing me here, I am no longer a minister. I have been ordered to tender in my resignation letter before noon tomorrow.
Waiter: Sir please this is your drink, it is just the way you ordered for it.
Hon. Nii Nortey: Thank you very much my guy, I hope your little girl is fine?
Waiter: She is awesomely well, thanks for asking of her. (walks away)
Hon. Johnson: Whaaaat? How? Why? What is the reason for that order?
Hon. Nii Nortey: Hmmmm my brother, Opana this afternoon visited the footbridge that is being constructed on the Madina-Adenta highway and he got to know that I ordered the contractor to reduce the size of the bridge so that I could balance some of the money involved in the contract. He also went to the Odaw gutter to check on the work that is ongoing and the contractor opened up to him that he had not gotten the funds that were released for the project. Charlie this dude today embarassed me in his office when he made me to foolishly narrate David and Uriah’s story in the bible. As prophet Nathan did to David, that is exactly what he made me to go through this evening, this guy later told me about all the shaddy deals I have engaged myself in since he appointed me minister and threaten to release some of my dirty secret if I don’t return every pesewa I have diverted into my account.
Hon. Johnson: Oh my God, Nii you are in such a big mess my brother. How are you going to come clean now that you have channelled most of the monies into offshore business and investment?
Hon. Nii Nortey: That is my greatest worry right now but certainly I know I will find an escape route to this puzzle. You know I have never been defeated in my own yard before? I will speak with the vice president when I get home this evening, I believe he is my last move in this game.
Hon. Johnson: I just hope so my brother, ah this girl has kept long, if she doesn’t show up any time soon, I will leave this place.
Hon. Nii Nortey: Why are you expecting someone?
Hon. Johnson: Yes ooo, I want to taste one of the succulent girls who is doing her service in my office, she called me earlier this evening that she wants to meet me and I directed her to this place. She is 20minutes late as to the time we scheduled.
Hon. Nii Nortey: (phones ring) Hello Gifty, have you gotten here?
Gifty: Yes please, I am at the enterance of the club house.
Hon. Nii Nortey: That is good, ask of the VVIP lounge and you will see me there
Gifty: Okay honourable, I will be with you very soon. (call ends)
Hon. Johnson: Are you also expecting someone?
Hon. Nii Nortey: Yes my brother, after Opana’s dismissal, a young lady I met some time back at the KNUST campus called me she is in town and wanted to see me. You know the cat can never reject meat so I told her to meet here.
Hon. Johnson: That’s all, because we will so we won’t sleep. Herh Jack come around.
Waiter: Mr friend prepare our rooms for us, we have some unfinished business to do and please get some scented and roughlike condoms available for us in our rooms. The bill is on me this evening and I hope you have resolved the concerns I raised the other time.
Waiter: Right away honourable, that issue was tackled the following day that you raised the issue. I will make your door cards available soon. (walks away)
Hon. Nii Nortey: Why was there a problem the others time?
Hon. Johnson: My brother, I don’t know who came to use my room before me. The bed in the room was more than a talking dream, every stroke I gave that university girl came with a sound, we had to move to sofa to draw the curtains down. Hey who is this sweet girl coming our way?
Hon. Nii Nortey: That is my baby girl, my dear come over here.
Gifty: Good evening sirs.
Hon. Nii Nortey: My dear we will prefer honourables, you know it is not easy to come by that title?
Hon. Johnson: You have been pardoned my dear, take a seat by your man. He said he has expecting a pretty lady but he never stressed that it was a goddess he was expecting.
Gifty: I am flattered sir.
Hon. Johnson: Don’t be because that is the utmost truth, if you were alive by those olden days like the artist who drew Monalisa will choose you rather. Jack come and take the order of our special guest.
Back at the Presidency:
Hon. Asantewaa: Your Excellency it is late and we need to call it a day. You know we are expecting a UN Delegation tomorrow God willing.
President R. Mensah: Yes I am very much aware, I want to draft my welcome address as Danny works on my speech. Before I forget, as we went round the city today, what did you observe on the street?
Hon. Asantewaa: I didn’t see much but I think one thing I observed much I the filth on the street. At the Madina junction I saw a heap of refuse that had been gathered there and on the Teshie road to I saw a lot of poly bag and plastic waste that were joining the sea close to the Labadi beach.
President R. Mensah: Thank you for that observation, those were the few places I landmarked not forgetting the Korle lagoon which is also choked. For me this mayor I appointed is not doing anything, he is so gentle and dull for my liking, comparing him to his predecessor, he is nowhere close to him. When I watch news sometimes I get so pissed off when I see how the capity city is being swallowed by filth. I am planning of using my legislative powers to band all plastic materials in the country but I also feel for the people who are running such business. They are equally Ghanaians and I believe they pay their taxes well also, Madam Asantewaa I wish I could transform Ghana within my short time in office but I am scared if I execute my plans, I would render a lot of people jobless. Even I am planning to move the capital to a different region so that development can fast reach the other regions, but I always get scared because I know even some members of our party will oppose it. See how I got a lot of heckling and insults when the new regions were created and we chose some places as their capitals. Most Ghanaians are not ready and hungry to embrace change and it pains me to the marrow, even see what some of the ministers I appointed are doing. I need to stamp my feet so hard on the ground if not I will lose my grip on affairs. I want to go into the good books of this country and my name be mentioned even after years of my death.
Hon. Asantewaa: I feel your pain your Excellency, please don’t give up. Let us do our best and leave the rest to God, our elders say “no matter how big your hand is, you can’t cover the eyes of God”. I believe strongly that before your tenure of office comes to an end, your name will be on the lips of every Ghanaian for the good work you did for mother Ghana. I have said this to many people behind you and today I will say it in your presence, if today you are out of office, I see you as one of the greatest leaders Africa has ever seen.
President R. Mensah: I am humbled with your words madam Asantewaa, the truth is you have also been a great source of inspiration to me, you wise counsel has helped for me to take better decisions concerning this country.
Hon. Asantewaa: (phone rings) Hello junior I am about to leave the office, I will be home very soon.
Caller: Mummy I don’t like the food aunty Ivy prepared, I wanted indomie but she prepared banku and okro stew.
Hon. Asantewaa: Junior you better better shut up and eat the good. We you not the same person who told her that is the food you wanted to eat this evening? You think Ivy is in the house purposely to do you bidings erh? Youngman you better eat your food before I get home, I won’t make you disturb that woman because she is also someone’s daughter. I hope you have done your homework?
Caller: No I haven’t done it yet.
Hon. Asantewaa: You haven’t done it yet and you want indomie to eat? I have over pampered you and henceforth things will change in that house, don’t expect any birthday party if you don’t come out first in your class this term and forget about you travelling with me to London also. Do I make myself clear?
Caller: Yes mummy. (call ends)
President R. Mensah: Is everything alright madam Asantewaa?
Hon. Asantewaa: Oh yes your Excellency, it was junior who was trying to prove stubborn in the house but I have put him in his rightful position. Sometimes when they are over pampered the want to go off board, this morning he made us change the menu by saying he wants banku and okro stew, we complied and after the food was ready, he is now saying he wants indomie rather. He thought calling me, I would instruct Ivy to do what he wanted. Meanwhile his homework had not been done and he is calling thinking he was going to get me in corner.
President R. Mensah: Hahahahaha that is the 21st century kids for you. They think they can always have their way, my daughter is keeping malice with me because I missed her birthday celebration and I failed to call and wish her happy birthday when I travelled to Ethiopia. Madam let’s go home and try and keep our home at peace before it catches fire. I will come to the office early to write my welcome speech, Pearl please tell my bodyguard to get my ride ready. Mmmm madam please tomorrow the U.N. Delegation should be picked at the airport with only Kantanka SUV cars, I want them to go back to their country with a positive story about Ghana.
Hon. Asantewaa: As you have ordered, so she it be sir. Good night and my regards to the first lady and her adorable daughter.
At the Secret Hideout:
Mrs Nortey: Ah that was another great escapade, ah you are a monster when it comes to bedmatics.
Kelvin: Well you asked for it so I just had to give it to you very hard and strong. I believe you are very okay with the rounds of sex we had this evening.
Mrs Nortey: (panting for breather) Oh yes I am very okay my bedroom commando, you nearly killed me in the last room. You were not merciful on me at all, am even feeling pains in my left leg with the last style you did.
Kelvin: Just last say it is my finishing move, let me please rush home since my girlfriend might have been waiting for me for some time now.
Mrs Nortey: Mmmmmm you, you can go even thought I want you around a bit more. I will transfer money into your account when I am done showering. You have really gotten me weak and am even feeling pain in my abdomen. Don’t get to notify me when you get home.
Kelvin: I will do that when I get home Becky (checks his phone and sees it is off)
Back at the Club House Suite:
Gifty: Honourable is everything alright or am not that attractive to you any longer? I have been giving you blow job for the past 20minutes but there seem to be an erectal malfunction. Is anything the problem?
Hon. Nii Nortey: Forgive me my dear, you are still as sexy as I met you the first time. I got a devastating news a while before you got here, I thought your presence could bring a difference but you know you can’t cheat nature. I promise to make it up to you the moment I resolve this issue hopefully by the close of tomorrow.
Gifty: Hmmmm, I thought I was the problem but you have made me a bit okay with your explanation even thought the fire in me has been ignited. The way I wanted to give it to you erh, you would have even forgotten your name.
Hon. Nii Nortey: Brace yourself for what will happen to you when next we meet because the angels called mercy and patience will not hid to your numerous calling. Let me not keep you here since my body is in this room with you but my spirit is very far from you. Text me your account details and get ready so we leave this place because I have some pressing matters to attend to.
Gifty: Okay honourable, let me start dressing then. I will text you my account details when I am done.
Hon. Nii Nortey: Ah are you not taking a shower here before you leave this room?
Gifty: No please, I don’t my friend be wondering and thinking of where I freshened up.
Hon. Nii Nortey: That is a brilliant idea, you are making me believe what people are saying about nurses.
Gifty: What are people saying about we the nurses please?
Hon. Nii Nortey: They said you nurses are very bad and smart.
Hon. Johnson’s Suite:
Hon. Johnson: I knew there was something sweet in you the very first time I saw you
On a scale of 1 to 10, how will you rate President R. Mensah?
In a sentence describe Hon. Asantewaa.
In the case of Mrs Nortey, Kelvin and Hon. Nii Nortey, Gifty, are we going to call it coincidence or twist of fate?
Is it true that a broke guy dating a pretty and well endowed lady has already lost his lady 60%?
What future do you also see for Hon. Johnson?
